soup kitchen
On monday october 21, 2019 when I entered the soup kitchen counter the chef that works there (majorie) started yelling at me for no apparent reason over an argument that she had with several other patrons over not following rules. Her being a caucasion used what appeared to me to be a racial slur by refering to me (an african american) as you people. I...

I was the only white person when I arrived at the Salvation Army Food Pantry in Syracuse, while their was Hispanic and people of color ahead of me. Clearly they did not understand or speak English, as multiple signs informed people to sit and wait their turn. While I sat and waited my turn; more Hispanic and people of color arrived, they did not sit down, and staff allowed them to cut ahead, as white people do not need food as much as Hispanic and people of color
employee complaint
Dear to whom it may concern, My name is Tamara, and I was shopping at your store Thursday, October 24 around 3:30 pm. I just wanted to let you know that I was looking for some coats and didn't know where they were, so I asked a floor associate if I'm not mistaken she had on a name tag that said Lucia. She was extremely rude to me, gave me a really big...

Read full review of The Salvation Army USAmanager named laura was rude and inconsiderate
I occasionally shop at the Salvation Army store #27 on Devon Avenue in Chicago. During my past three visits, I have requested to use a fitting room, for which you need an employee to retrieve a key from the manager and unlock. All three times the employees and manager have stated that both of their fitting rooms were not available (without explanation). I was simply told they were "out of order." Today, I again requested to use a fitting room, to which I was given a reply by a helpful employee named Josh, "Let me get the key." I was excited, since it seemed they had "fixed" the fitting rooms. Josh unlocked the door and I was about to enter - when the manager - Laura - intercepted my entry and said, "the rooms are out of order." I replied, why?" To which she said they needed to be repaired. I asked, "Why? what is wrong with them?" She did not answer me and rudely turned and walked away.
I continued shopping. When I came across another helpful employee, I asked, "What is wrong with the fitting rooms? They have been unavailable for over a month now." The employee responded, "we lost the key" to which I replied, "That is not what I was told." She then said I should speak to the manager - Laura. I did not feel comfortable asking Laura, since she was already rude to me once.
I have no problem being told a reason as to why I cannot use fitting rooms, but when I am lied to without reason and treated rudely, then something is wrong with the customer service! I will not go back to this store. With management like that - I am happy to spend my money elsewhere.
", I asked, "What is wrong with the fitting rooms? They have been unavailable for over a month now." The employee responded, "we lost the key" "
I guess they never heard of getting a new key made, even if it means changing all the locks.

While shopping the "Bins" at the Clinton Township store in Michigan. I was looking and shopping with a family member at some items in large cardboard boxes. First of all there isn't any "real" organization in the bins with the exception of some books in one corner and shoes against the back wall and half baked attempt at putting the linens in one...
Read full review of The Salvation Army USAservice pick up.
I had scheduled pick up today for some living room furniture that is is good condition as I told them when I called for the donation.
I have cats and there was some cat hair on one of the chairs... my vacuum hose had broken, so I could not get all the hair off of it.
When this guy came in he insulted me by say this furniture was in bad shape. I am appalled and insulted. I told him not to take it. Rude!
I got a hair roller and go all the cat hair off. The young guy with the old one said cat hair never comes out. That is BS!
This is free and you will sell it.
I live in a million dollar home, I am not some low class street person.
This is totally unacceptable.
And now he said he cant take the sofa sleeper couch because it h as a tiny rip on the bottom that cant be seen. And the china hutch he wont take because there is a little chip in one of the shelves. OH MY GOD. WHAT DO YOU PEOPLE THINK THAT YOU ARE? I AM SURE THERE IS SOME VERY VERY POOR PERSON OUT THERE THAT WOULD REALLY LOVE TO HAVE IT. THIS IS MESSED UP.
I WILL DO EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO LET THE WORLD KNOW HOW INCREDIBLY SELFISH THAT THE SALVATION ARMY IS. YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOUR SELVES.

holding good for customers
I watched them pull out audio gear for a customer giving him dibs and leaving that store useless for anyone else looking for a deal. The guy flips the stuff on Facebook and it's endless! It's unfair to the other people the drive to the store looking for value, but it's all being held back for people. I used to go in every other day but I don't see the...
Read full review of The Salvation Army USAbecky stuart loveland facility
Becky Stuart at the Loveland Colorado facility said I could not pass out scripture at her facility. I told her that she does not do anything about people smoking in front of the store. City ordinance.
I told her she sells Halloween merchandise and that does not bother her. She enforces what she wants. Always against god. For Halloween; pagan.
I sent a letter to Karen Headquarters Denver.
Supreme Court ruled that passing out scripture is not soliciting. No! Giving away free Gospel tracts and talking to people about salvation are not the same thing as soliciting.

Read full review of The Salvation Army USAbuying furniture
I appreciate all you do, and donate often. I also frequent my local store to buy merchandise to donate. I do also buy merchandise for myself occasionally. I did, today, purchase a couch. It was a great bargain and I am very thankful. It will go to a very good needing family. I am however very upset with my local stores staff and feel my issue needs to be addressed! I will write this letter, call the number and file a complaint with the BBB if it is not resolved in a timely manner.
Now to my point...
Like I said I purchased a couch today from the Taylor location, and the staff was NOT helpful at all and even rude. I do not understand why they can not help move furniture to the buyers vehicle...or at least help to get it out of the store. I am a capable person, but can not carry a couch out to the truck. NO HELP WAS OFFERED, they said it was prohibited...WHY? Damage to the item? Injured workers? Liability? PLEASE EXPLAIN!
OK...so I moved past that because I really needed this couch...THEN they wouldn't even let me take it through the back wide door! They MADE ME CARRY THIS BIG SECTIONAL COUCH THROUGH THE FRONT NARROW DOORS! RIDICULOUS! If they are not going to help...they should AT LEAST let you take it out better accessible doors! I am very frustrated about this and like I said I will be following up. This should be addressed!
nepotism, and "chain of command lovers" shortage in supplies & water... etc...

Read full review of The Salvation Army USAs.a. employees destroying charitable entities
A handful of Salvation Army employees are destroying Christian charities. The group that they're with has publicly proclaimed that that this is what they do. It is policy. We have seen them destroy 6. When they do this it leaves the target group unhelped leaving them in their psychological pain. Jesus says if somebody has a problem with you go to them and talk it out. They have refused to talk about this and we have been waiting to talk for five years. Their supervisors have refused to talk about this. Their supervisors supervisors in charge of all S. A. Operations in the Chicago area have refused to talk about this. That would be the Metropolitan Division in Chicago. We then went to the Central Command in Hoffman Estates and they refused to talk about this- only giving us fake emails. Can you please notify a high official to contact us to begin the process of talking this out the way Jesus has commanded us to do? It would be terrible if the national press started running stories about how the Salvation Army prevents the poor from being helped by destroying other charitable entities.
Thank you and God bless!
